Ill Mind Six: Old Friend

I remember the first time you overdosed

A fuckin' over load on meth

Paramedics saved your ass

You was close to ghost

You never did know which road to go

It's like you rode the boat and sailed away

And hoped to hit the golden coast

But you sank like the Titanic

The incident, it left your life damaged

And that's when I panicked

You thought you had it locked

Well you ain't on the right planet

If you're tryin to live your life right, plan it

It's like your mind vanished

You don't even know that

I wish that we could go back

'Cause it's so sad when I tell jokes

And you don't laugh

Like you used to

I really hate to stress it

But you strange to mess with

So I keep my distance

'Cause you always got this blank expression

Like you're confused and unaware of yo' surroundings

Emotions have gone and no one's found it

It's overwhelming

Your momma told you that drugs are bad

But you ain't listen till the fire burned yo' ass

Now you understand

Now you always look like you don't know me

And I'm mad at the world

'Cause the meth took away my homie

Give me back my homie, please come home

I just wanna chill on the neighborhood block

Like we used to

Where'd you go?

I never woulda thought my best friend be gone in the future

But I was wrong

I should've stopped you when I had the chance to do so

But back then I had felt like that was too bold

You started hanging with new folks

And made the drug environment your new home

This world is too cold

Could I have prevented this?

Who knows?

They convinced you that this shit was cool and hip to do

Sayin it would lift your mood

And make you feel invincible

So you started skippin' school

Hanging with these wicked dudes

Unaware that when you got older you played the bigger fool

And it's pitiful, where the fuck they at now

In they mid-20's passed out inside of a crack house

Back when you met them I had doubts

They put you on a bad route

And when you needed they help to pick you up

They fucking backed out

They fucking got you

I can't lie

But now your brain's fried

And you don't even act like you the same guy

Your momma told you that drugs are bad

But you ain't listen till the fire burned yo' ass

Now you understand

Now you always look like you don't know me

And I'm mad at the world

'Cause the meth took away my homie

Give me back my homie, please come home

I just wanna chill on the neighborhood block

Like we used to

Where'd you go?

Never would a thought my best friend be gone in the future

But I was wrong

I ain't never felt this shit before

It gets me sore

I reminisce on us playin' Nintendo 64

And that Christmas in '97 we go new crispy boards

An we was doin' ollies in my kitchen

On the slippery floor

Shit changed and it happened quick

But I can't forget

That you was the first homie I started rapping with

You could've had half of this

Back when I had established it

But now I had to sit and feel bad

Look at what your actions did

But you was so outgoing and so hysterical

Seeing you now is just unbearable

It's terrible

You should've made your choices wisely

Fuckin' with poison ivy

Without your brain

Please tell me, what would your point in life be?

It's a struggle to get your ass to listen

Really hurt me and the rest of your family

With all your bad decisions

We always told you that drugs are bad

But you ain't listen till the fire burned yo' ass

Now you understand

Now you always look like you don't know me

And I'm mad at the world

'Cause the meth took away my homie

Give me back my homie, please come home

I just wanna chill on the neighborhood block

Like we used to

Where'd you go?

I never woulda thought my best friend be gone in the future

But I was wrong

Excuse me, do you need a ride?

Looks like you're going downtown

Yes, hop in my ride

Well, hi, I'm crystal meth

I'm your best friend, crystal meth

I'm all you need, crystal meth

If you wanna succeed

Hop in my ride

Well, hi, I'm crystal meth
